If the context menu says enabled, then Autosizer is working. You can
verify
this by pressing Alt-Space while focused on any window to bring up the
System menu. Arrow down to Maximize . If you hear "Maximize
unavailable",
then you know the window is maximized. As far as not hearing the ding
sound,
a few other people have reported this problem, but I don't know if there
is
a solution.

hello Gerald
i have done what you say
i don't hear a ding but more of a small thud when i open a window
all the boxes are checked apart from the one that mentions something
about
reaching 1 megabyte and the one above the options choice cant remember
what it says or what it does
i think there were 2 other things i don't have checked
however i still don't know if all windows are maximised i may need to ask
a sighted person
but the system tray says enabled
does this mean it is working and all windows are maximised?
thank you
Yvonne

If you already have Autosizer in the System Tray, press Insert-F11 to
bring
up the System Tray , arrow down to Autosizer and hit Enter. Then arrow
down
the list to the Options dialog and hit Enter again. Tab to each check
box
and be sure it is checked. When you have checked all the boxes, hit
Space
on Okay. This will turn on all the settings for Autosizer, including
the
ding sound to indicate that a window has been maximized.

JAWS works best when the focused window is maximized. Autosizer is a
little
utility that automatically maximizes a window when it is first opened,
eliminating the need to do this manually from the System menu.
Autosizer
can be set to launch automatically at Windows start-up, and it runs
unobtrusively in the backround. You can even set it to alert you with
a
ding sound to indicate that the focused window has been maximized. If
you
prefer not to install it, remember to always manually maximize the
focused
window (Alt-Space, X) to optimize JAWS performance. This is
especially
important when using your web browser so that JAWS can correctly
recognize
all objects on a particular web page. You can download Autosizer from
the
JAWS Users programs page under the Utilities heading. If you run JAWS
10,
you should download version 1.6, otherwise, download version 1.7.
HTH.

Hi George,
No, I am not saying that we don't need Autosizer. I'm not saying
that
at
all. I still use it. Sometimes it can cause a focus issue and when
that
happens you uninstall it, & reinstall it, if Autosizer is the
problem
is
all
I'm saying and if there is a focus issue the only way to find out if
Autosizer is the culprit is to do just that. I really like this
program
&
find it to be a very handy tool. Take care.
Mike

Hi Mike:
I renamed the .dll and .exe for autosizer, rebooted and it seems to
have
taken care of the focus problem. The dates on the .dll and .exe were
early
06 and untill JAWS10 autosizer worked fine. Now are you guys saying
we
no
longer need autosizer? I installed it back when Debbie Scales was
running
jfwlite.
Thanks,

Hi George & Jacob,
The Autosizer has been known to cause focus problems. Several
people
on
this list and the Jaws Users list have had issues with the
Autosizer
program, including David Ferrin if I am not mistaken. I am not
trying
to
bash the program but, I am stating what has happened. All you have
to
do
is
uninstall the program and reinstall it. In my personal experience
I
have
only had trouble with the updated versions beyond version 1.6 and
so
I
leave
the box unchecked for the program to update automatically. Below
is
a
direct download link for the 1.6 version.
Also Jacob, could you explain to me how you were able to change the
sound
Autosizer makes when it maximizes a window? My sound doesn't work
whether
that box is checked or not.

I hope this helps you with your focus issues. Take care.
Mike

Hi George,
Are you running the Autosizer program by any chance? Let us know,
because
that could be your problem if you are. Take care.

On the address book that is the same way it works with mine but it
is
not
sometimes it is every time I enter OE, but as I said I could live
with
that.
The focus problem in OE is much more anoying.

I'm also using the latest version of jaws 10 (I think 1151),
along
with
IE
7 and OE, and haven't really found these problems at all.
Often enough when I start outlook express, it initially says
something
like my first entry in the address book, but immediately
afterwards,
it
in
fact reads the top message in the list, and if I hit enter on
them
it
reads fine.
Only thing I can think of off hand again is to make sure all
parts
of
outlook express and IE are in fact maximised - Alt + space, and
then
the
letter X.
Stay well

Hi:
I am using IE7 in Outlook express when I enter OE I get the
first
entry
of my address book and the number of entries spoken, I could
live
with
this but the focus is very bad, reading a message, deleting and
going
to
the next JAWS10 always looses focus, can't live with that. I
went
back
to
version 9 for email. Does anyone have a fix for these problems?
Thanks,
